Robbins: 'Chill Wind is Blowing'
Apr 16, 5:46 AM EST

(Associated Press) -- One casualty of the war with Iraq is the First
Amendment right to oppose it, actor Tim Robbins says.

Robbins and longtime companion actress Susan Sarandon are war opponents
whose scheduled appearance at baseball's Hall of Fame was canceled last week
by former Reagan administration aide Dale Petroskey, now the hall's
president.

"A chill wind is blowing in this nation," Robbins told a National Press Club
luncheon Tuesday. "Every day the airwaves are filled with warnings, veiled
and unveiled threats, spewed invective and hatred directed at any voice of
dissent."

Robbins, 44, said he didn't regret supporting the 2000 presidential campaign
of consumer activist Ralph Nader, who has been blamed for taking enough
votes away from Al Gore to enable George W. Bush to win the White House. He
said he hadn't decided whom to support in 2004.

Petroskey sent a letter to Robbins and Sarandon, telling them the
15th-anniversary celebration of "Bull Durham" set for April 26-27 at
Cooperstown, N.Y., had been called off. Robbins and Sarandon co-starred in
the 1988 baseball film.
